Not All Analyses Are Equal: Physicists Create Guidelines for Non-Equilibrium Measurements of Many-Body Systems
When it comes to non-equilibrium physics, not all assumptions are created equal.
Detecting Gluons Inside Pions: 5 Questions With NC State Physicists Patrick Barry and Chueng Ji
Researchers from NC State University have determined the probability of finding a gluon inside the pion. The Abstract talks with them about what this finding means for our understanding of how the universe works.
Following the Path: Making Huge Calculations Predictable
New approach narrows down huge calculations – like those involved in quantum physics – by focusing on a single, predictive parameter.
Professor Emeritus Honored for Service in Retirement
The Association of Retired Faculty recognizes longtime physics professor Richard Patty.
Creating an Electron-Hole Liquid at Room Temperature
NC State physicists create a "blueprint" for creating electron-hole liquids at room temperature.
Voltage-driven Liquid Metal Fractals
Low voltage makes high surface-tension liquid metal spread and form fractals
Celebrate 100 Years of Physics
NASA astronaut Christina Koch and WIRED blogger Rhett Allain are the featured speakers at a two-day event for NC State's Department of Physics, which is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year.
Finding Neutrinos – Q&A With Matthew Green
The world’s smallest neutrino detector has found neutrinos: elusive, electrically neutral particles that interact only weakly with matter.
Physicists Use Numerical ‘Tweezers’ to Study Nuclear Interactions
Researchers use numerical tweezers to study how interactions between protons and neutrons produce forces between nuclei.
Tracking the Protein Patrollers
A nanoprobe developed by biophysicists at NC State could allow researchers to trace the movements of different proteins along DNA – without the drawbacks of current methods. A host of proteins patrol your DNA helix like cops on a beat. […]
